Rockies in a Bind: Who Steps Up at Second Base After Estrada's Injury? 

The Colorado Rockies are facing a significant challenge with the recent injury to Thairo Estrada, who was expected to be a key player at second base this season. With Estrada sidelined for 4 to 8 weeks due to a fractured wrist, the Rockies are now scrambling to find a suitable replacement. Kyle Farmer, a utility infielder, seems to be the immediate answer, but can he really hold down the fort for an extended period?

This situation raises some intriguing questions. Is Farmer capable of stepping up offensively, or will his career OPS+ of 87 hinder the Rockies' performance? Should the Rockies consider promoting Adael Amador, their seventh-best prospect, despite his struggles in the majors last season? Or is it time for Colorado to look outside the organization for a more impactful player?

Moreover, how does this injury impact the Rockies' overall season outlook? With Opening Day just around the corner, can they remain competitive in the tough NL West without their planned second baseman?

Let’s hear your thoughts! What do you think the Rockies should do in light of Estrada's injury? Do you believe Farmer can be a reliable stopgap, or should they take a risk on Amador? What bold predictions do you have for the Rockies' season now that their plans have been thrown into disarray?
